Reversible Steganographic Scheme for AMBTC-Compressed Image Based on (7,4) Hamming Code
In recent years, compression steganography technology has attracted the attention of many scholars. Among all image compression method, absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) is a simple and effective compression method. Most AMBTC-based reversible data hiding (RDH) schemes do not guarantee...
